How often do you change your toothbrush?

[Mad Hatter]

I soak my toothbrush overnight in a specially made toothbrush cup. No microbes can survive being immersed in water like that. Therefore I only change the brush when the bristles become frayed.

I don't keep track of how long I use my toothbrush for, but I'm pretty sure they don't exceed 4 months max. I know it is time to change them when they start getting soft and bent.

when they start getting soft and bent.

^^^I hear that Viagra can help with that.

Oh really? That's new. But why go through the trouble of fixing it with Viagra when I can just get another one! Thanks for the tip though, I will try it out for the fun of it

I don't judge the expiration of a toothbrush by it's duration. I rather judge it by the form of the toothbrush per time. If the brushing parts look weak and bent, it is time for it to turn to a hair brush.

I change my toothbrush once every month. I was advised by my dentist to take this move and believe me when I said that it has helped to keep my dental state in good condition as I rarely have toothache these days.

On the contrary, I pay attention to time, because sometimes the brush can be in perfect shape, but have an unpleasant smell, and even if I used it for another couple of months, it would probably still look good, but it would no longer be hygienic.

My own toothbrushes can never look good for a long period of time. Just give it about 2 months of usage from me, it would definitely change it's form. That's when I know that the toothbrush is no longer effective to clean my teeth well.

I try to be diligent about replacing my toothbrush every 6 months, as recommended by dental professionals. After that length of time, the bristles become frayed and less effective at removing plaque and debris. Using an old, worn-out toothbrush can also harbor more bacteria.

I change my toothbrush every month to take care of my teeths

 

[Sanjeev]

I change my toothbrush when I notice it's bristles get bad in shape. Mostly, I change it once every month whereas doctors say that it should be changed twice a week.

 

[Monster Masterpiece]

I think once a month should be reasonable time to change toothbreath.

Yes, once a month is okay. Sometimes I use it up to 2 months though, depending on the quality of the brush that I am currently using.

 

[Ronin]

Once every two months. It doesn't matter to me, even if the worn-out brush looks decent, I will change it anyway, because I can't know how many bacteria have collected there. But for my kids, I try to change the toothbrush every month

 

[Amdhone3qq]

The maximum I can remember using any of my toothbrush is 3 months. I can't use any toothbrush more than 3 months. There are times when I change the one I'm using within 2 months.

Do you use your toothbrush longer than 2-3 months?

Actually and to be honest I change my own 1 to 2 months in a while. but others do not care about that, I don't know what they will say if they might be infected with dental issues
